Propose to rename this page. Although common talk 'sandbox' means to play around with, in Linux circles 'sandbox' means to create a chroot jail. From wikipedia:

I just don't understand why the discussion page of a wiki is not implemented as a real forum. I'm not supposed to edit the opinion of others, and if I feel like they misspelled something I should contact the person and ask/recommend editing his/her own entry. So I will act as I'm supposed to, but sadly I can't ensure that everyone will do the same. And, while I tend to believe in the good on humans, I still think that a forum system would free us from wondering about this everytime we (and anyone else!) edit a discussion page in a wiki.
